Ha! You share our sentiments that we are thankful to be able to enjoy such an easier life now than our Pioneers. Thank you for coming and sharing your views.

Wow. Thank you for your comprehensive review of both of our museum sites. Surely fellow Trip Advisors will find this helpful. It certainly was to us! Appreciate your visit and taking the time to review.
